TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Rigged Redux: To no one’s surprise, Trump now casts doubt about the intregrity of midterm election results.  Here’s his short 52-word complaint that he posted on Truth Social yesterday. The National Review ain’t buying his beef as evidenced by this headline today: “Meet the New Trump, Same as the Old Trump”...The ugly truth about Truth Social: Year-over-year visits have plunged for the sixth consecutive month at the Trump-controlled social media platform, according to TheRighting’s exclusive research released today. The portly POTUS uses it as a megaphone to spread his lies and hate. It’s no coincidence that the steep drop in visits to Truth Social coincides with a shift in the American public’s perception on the effectiveness and consequences of Trump’s war with Iran. Here’s the full report...Hegseth in the crosshairs: “Hairgel” is my least favorite Trump cabinet cast member, yet I’m not convinced that impeachment is a smart move.  Democrats should be spending their time helping citizens and uniting the country. This could be perceived as the first shot in a war of retribution even though it’s being stoked by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY). Worth noting: Hegseth held a defiant news conference this morning defending his record. Trump watched (natch) and gave his performance an A+++ (Truth Social)...Help wanted:  Mediaite, the left-leaning online news outlet, is looking for a conservative writer to cover right-wing media. Pay: $50,000-$65,000. Here are the details...Only 727 days until the 2028 presidential elections as my countdown ticker at the bottom of this email shows.  Looks like Ron DeSantis and Jon Ossoff are in the (very) early pole positions...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Dems Aren’t Hiding Their Plans to Punish Their Enemies

source: Daily Signal

Instead of figuring out a way they can make life better for regular Americans as they promised, Democrat leaders—like Rep. Robert Garcia—are hatching plans to punish businessmen, tech CEOs, low-level GOP staffers, and even Trump’s current advisers. They are barely bothering to hide their intentions, though Garcia maybe realizes he’s a bit over his skis given that Trump is still in the White House.
